#1: Fuel Tank Rattle Author: gromroberts, Location: FarnhamPosted: Thu Jul 14, 2011 7:27 am ---- Hi Everyone,
I have just joined the site having come across it, glad I did really good site and I am on my second 206.
I currently have a 52 plate 206 SW Si and over the last month a really irritating rattle has started. I looked at it with a friend and from what we could work out, it is within the tank. I was wondering if anyone has had this occur and what the best action to take is.
Any information would be greatly appreciated

Could it not be the rear Axle or the boot ect

I can honestly say it wasn't anything to do with us.
Like someone had dropped the old one when replacing it, and just left it in there .

maybe they put it there for extra power, 2x fuel pumps means 2x fuel which in turn means 2x power, obviously

Everything works fine gauge etc its just irritating as hell.
Thing is I am new to working on cars lol normally working on golf course equipment so forgive any naivety in anything I say.
